Roasted BBQ T-Bone Steak Authentic 30 Minutes Recipe

A Roasted BBQ T-Bone Steak is a mouthwatering, hearty dish that combines the rich flavors of a premium T-bone steak with the smoky sweetness of a BBQ glaze. The T-bone steak, known for its distinctive T-shaped bone, offers two cuts of beef in one: the tender filet mignon on one side and the flavorful strip steak on the other. This makes it a favorite among steak lovers for its variety of textures and flavors.

The steak is first seasoned with a robust dry rub featuring spices like smoked paprika, garlic powder, and chili powder, which enhance its natural savouriness. It’s then seared in a hot skillet to create a caramelized, crispy crust, locking in the juices. After searing, the steak is brushed with a sticky, smoky BBQ glaze made with BBQ sauce, honey, and a touch of vinegar for balance. The steak is then roasted in the oven to perfection, ensuring a tender, juicy interior with a slightly charred, flavourful exterior.

Once rested and sliced, the Roasted BBQ T-Bone Steak is a showstopper succulent, smoky, and slightly sweet, with a perfect balance of tenderness and bold flavour. It’s often served with classic sides like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp salad, making it a satisfying and indulgent meal for any occasion.

Ingredients

  

• 1 large T-bone steak about 1.5–2 inches thick
• 1 tbsp olive oil for coating

Dry Rub:

• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1 tsp black pepper freshly ground
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp chili powder

BBQ Glaze:

• 1/4 cup BBQ sauce store-bought or homemade
• 1 tbsp honey or brown sugar
• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions

 

• Prepare the Steak:

  Take the T-bone steak out of the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for 30–40 minutes to ensure even cooking. Pat the steak dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
• Make the Dry Rub:

  In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder. Rub the steak generously with olive oil, then coat it evenly with the dry rub on both sides. Let it sit for 10–15 minutes.
• Preheat the Oven:

  Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) Heat an oven-safe skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat on the stovetop.
• Sear the Steak:

  Once the skillet is hot, place the steak in the pan and sear for 2–3 minutes on each side until a golden-brown crust forms. Use tongs to sear the edges of the steak for about 1 minute.
• Prepare the BBQ Glaze:

  In a small bowl, mix the BBQ sauce, honey (or brown sugar), apple cider vinegar, and smoked paprika. Brush the glaze generously over both sides of the steak.
• Roast the Steak:

  Transfer the skillet with the steak to the preheated oven.

  – Roast: for 8–12 minutes, depending on your desired doneness:

  – Rare: 8 minutes (internal temp: 125°F/52°C)

  – Medium Rare: 10 minutes (internal temp: 135°F/57°C)

  – Medium: 12 minutes (internal temp: 145°F/63°C) Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature for accuracy.
• Rest the Steak:

  Remove the steak from the oven and let it rest on a cutting board or plate for 5–10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy steak.
• Serve:

  Slice the steak against the grain and serve with extra BBQ glaze on the side. Pair with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
